Trust the Universe

âThe Universe sends us exactly what we are ready for at the exact time we need it in our lives.â

My mantra of the week is âtrust the Universe.â Itâs so easy to get frustrated with where you are in life and to compare yourself to your friends, your friends on Facebook, your friends on Instagram. Lately Iâve been getting so frustrated because I keep comparing myself to others and their fancy houses with a fenced in yard and a front porch, or to our friends who have gone on multiple European vacations this year. âHow are they affording all of this? Why are we so behind? I just wish I had a yard for my dogs. How am I going to pay for my wedding?â

On Monday morning I was driving 45 minutes out to the suburbs to meet my Mom to go meet our florists for the wedding. Randomly a quote popped into my head and I thought about it for a few minutes, deciding whether to make that my yoga theme for the week. When I showed up at home, my mom had put together a bag of early birthday gifts from me. One of those was a coffee mug â with the quote I had been thinking about in the car! It was pretty weird, pretty crazy, but a pretty great reminder to trust the Universe. Trust in the timing. The Universe will send you what you need (whether itâs a job, a friend, a quote on a coffee mug, etc.) at the exact time that you need it.

About two years ago I started looking for a new job because I was ready to get out of public accounting. I had been searching, talking to recruiters, taking phone interviews, etc. I was really trying to leave, but nothing was the right fit. The one company I was super excited for and interested in didnât even want to have a phone interview with me because they didnât want anyone who had worked in public accounting. I was crushed and super disappointed because what company wouldnât want someone with Big 4 accounting experience? I knew I needed to take a break from the job search and just sit through one more busy season with the company I was at. A few months later my recruiter reached out with a rotational management development position and I knew it was exactly what I needed! Trust the Universe. It will work out. It always works out.
